bistro jeanty {je t'aime}

whether enjoying a long, lazy dinner out on the covered patio during a hot summer evening, or savouring an intimate lunch by the fire on a crisp autumn afternoon, i am always sure to find my perfect meal at bistro jeanty. as an insatiable foodie and an unabashed francophile...bistro jeanty more than serves its purpose as my noshing haven.  i absolutely adore everything about this cozy and welcoming french bistro with it's authentic decor, happy and friendly staff and of course the amazing food!

that being said, you can imagine that when i had the opportunity to peek into the kitchen and spend an afternoon enjoying and photographing all the fabulousness that is bistro jeanty, i was a happy girl!

always on my mind {food}

i consider myself beyond extraordinarily fortunate to live in the napa valley. as a mother, i can't dream of a more ideal place to raise my children.as a photographer, i could not ask for a better source of inspiration combined with unlimited opportunities.as a foodie, this valley is like a candy store offering endless tasty treats and delectable delights to satisfy any craving or culinary desire. whether it be the crême de tomate en croute from  bistro jeanty, the fried chicken from ad hoc, the english muffins from the model bakery, the ken's roll from go fish, or the macaroons from bouchon bakery...  i am always happy when i'm eating at one of my napa valley favourites.
